Opportunities to engage in specific schemes aimed at encouraging factory and site tours by schools and others


The See Inside Manufacturing (SIM) programme is an industry led programme in partnership with the Department for Business, Innovation and Skill (BIS).

SIM gives young people and their teachers the chance to “See Behind the Scenes” of modern UK manufacturing. By opening the doors of modern UK manufacturing facilities, we aim to show how innovative and interesting manufacturing can be. It gives manufacturing businesses the opportunity to inform and inspire the next generation of manufacturers and engineers and their teachers.

 

BIS is working alongside a range of trade bodies that can offer advice and support to arrange a SIM

visit. A full list of partner organisations can be found at:
